Quotes by Sita Brahmachari

Depression feels a bit like that, it creeps in on you and settles, until you think it’ll never lift, but in time it always does. That’s why it’s so tragic if people don’t reach out to anyone when they feel low, because if they do, the mist will usually lift in the end.

Most people, by the time they get old, have grown tough little shells around their hearts. Babies, like little Laila, start off with tender, loving, trusting hearts, but gradually, gradually, they learn to protect themselves and, as the years go by, grow tougher and tougher layers. Look at this! The outside layers of the artichoke are so tough they aren’t even worth eating but they become more and more tender as you come closer to the heart. These tough outer layers stop you feeling so much, so people walk around with hard little hearts that no one can touch. Of course there are some people who don’t have a choice – they just never learn to protect themselves...now that can be both a blessing and a burden.

Mira Levenson. Aged twelve. Looks, long dark shiny hair, dark brown eyes (almost black), brown skin. Beautiful. Favorite colour, copper orange, I think. Personality, clever, bright, serious, shy, funny without realizing it, holds back her thoughts, mystery girl, arty. What Ive noticed: shes stronger than she thinks she is; she doesnt speak much ay school. What I know: shes got a loud laugh (when she lets it out). Her best friend is Millie Lockhart. She doesnt need Millie as much as she thinks she does. Her grandmother is dying and she loves her. She started talking in Pat Prints class. I know she doesnt know how much I think of her, how much I miss her if shes not around. What I think she thinks about me is that Im a bit of a joker, but Im deadly serious.Deer...apple...green...sea...See you on Friday!LoveJidé
